I just got a Frostheater kit. It comes with worm style clamps, but Im wondering if I should get some OEM spring clamps instead?
Ive read that coolant lines should use the "constant tension type" or spring style type clamps, NOT worm drive.
What would you all recommend? If I use spring type, where can I get them? My NAPA store and AUTOZONE doesn't have any big enough (about 15/16" OD) - they just have the little ones for fuel lines. I'd have to order the bigger srping types from the VW dealer. Is it worth the hassle?
